[August 30, 2024] 3 New Entity Names, Event History Redesign, and Performance Updates

v0.18.0

v0.18.0 brings 3 new entity names, performance improvements, and event history redesign.

New Entity Names

Building on our true ownership work from v0.16.0, see changelog, we are introducing three additional owner names:

  • PROGRESS_RESIDENTIAL
  • FIRSTKEY_HOMES
  • AMHERST
    These are available to use as parameters in both the property/search and property/event_history endpoints.

Redesigned Property Events

  • Property Metadata Removal: The /property/event_history endpoint does not include property metadata as this is now available in the new property/search endpoint.

Sample Output:

{
  "parcl_property_id": 12345,
  "event_date": "2024-08-29",
  "event_type": "string",
  "event_name": "string",
  "price": 0,
  "owner_occupied_flag": 0,
  "new_construction_flag": 0,
  "sale_index": 0,
  "investor_flag": 0,
  "entity_owner_name": "string"
}

Performance Enhancements and Bug Fixes

  • Backend Optimization: We’ve implemented substantial backend optimizations to ensure efficient bulk data retrieval.
  • Investor Flag Bug Fix: Resolved issue that was causing the investor_flag field to not populate for properties that are not currently owned or have not been owned by a named entity.
